Announcements useless?!?!?

[DMKA]

PM it to every member on the board. Six times.

I never go into specific forums. So I never see the Announcements. I almost exclusively use the "New Posts" link, and I also abuse the heck out of going to my profile and looking up threads I replied in that have had recent replies. Important stickies usually show up in the New Posts. Announcements however rarely do for some reason. Fix that and I'd be more apt to look at them ^_^; I mention this stuff because I'm probably not the only one that navigates the forum this way.

I think the problem here is that I made the announcement in the Feedback forum only, rather than a global announcement.

I also just noticed an embarrassing typo in the title of the announcement...

[Del Murder]

Maybe the announcement thing can have a different color if there is a new once since you've signed on last, like the way the folder for the threads change color when there are new posts. Or, we can have a line on the forum index that describes recent announcements. Are these ideas good/feasible?

[XxSephirothxX]

Wouldn't it be possible to have a New Annoucements thing pop up just like the Calendar events such as the Ciddies? I think that's what Del was talking about, and I don't imagine it would be very hard to do. And it would be much easier to spot.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

A different color, if possible, would be good. Especially if you have several colors that you just cycle through so that people don't get used to it.

I thought announcements were meant for the entertainment of the few of us who like to read them.

[rubah]

Yeah I really liked that fact of the day. I was disappointed when there wasn't a follow up.

[RSL]

I would do a fact of the day, but there's no way I could beat Kishi so I don't think I will.

Kids! There's nothing more cool then looking at announcements by someone you like! But when someone makes an announcement that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good! It's only an announcement. No one has the right to make a bad announcement. So what do you do? First you say, "Make it better!" Then you say, "Please?" Then you get out of there!

[Hawkeye]

I admit looking at the announcements are fun to see, and I think its neat everytime I see a new one

As long as it doesnt have to do with anything directly or indirectly concerning me, that is

Yams...its a parody of Sonic SezSays! Although the orginal is about being molested.

Anyways I like the color change thing. I never notice forum specific announcements and it is usually a week before I notice a new one anyways because it is always just there like the banner.

[eestlinc]

forum specific announcements are pretty dumb. we should just make all announcements global.

[Leeza]

Yes, all global, but with colour.

EDIT: Blinking and flashing colour.
